Petition To Secure America’s Borders
We, the undersigned, petition the President of the United States and America’s Governors to immediately deploy reserve military units under their authority in aid of the U.S. Border Patrol to secure our borders against illegal migration, international criminal operations, and the clear and present danger of terrorist incursion. We also petition Congress to support such actions through authorizations and funding.
We call upon the United States Senate to follow the lead of the House of Representatives and pass legislation that will secure our borders through fencing, technology and a massive increase in Border Patrol agents so that the reserve military units can be rapidly relieved of their deployment along our frontier. We urge the Senate to leave the grave question of amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens already in this country for later debate, after the security and sovereignty of our nation have been clearly reestablished and the present wholesale border crisis is controlled.
We endorse in principle the report reviewing the original Minuteman Project, issued last year by the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, which cited Minuteman Civil Defense volunteer action as a model for a government effort to reclaim our national borders—particularly the porous southwestern border areas of the United States.
